George Melloan retired in after a 54-year writing and editing career at The Wall Street Journal. In his last assignment he was Deputy Editor, International, of the editorial page and author of a weekly op-ed column titled Global View. He moved to New York in 1962 to join the Journal's Page One department as an editor and rewrite specialist. From 1966 to 1970 he was a foreign correspondent based in London, covering such major stories as the Six-Day War in the Middle East, the Biafran War in Nigeria and an attempted economic reform in the Soviet Union.
After joining the editorial page in New York in 1970, Mr.
Melloan became deputy editor in 1973. In 1990, he took
responsibility for the Journal's overseas editorial pages, writing
editorials and columns for the Journal's foreign and domestic
editions about such momentous events as the collapse of the Soviet
Union and the open door policy that brought billions of foreign
investment into China, fueling its enormous economic growth over a
period of 25 years. Mr Melloan was winner of the Gerald Loeb award
for distinguished business and financial journalism in 1982 and
twice in the 1980s won the Daily Gleaner award of the
Inter-American Press Association for his writings about the rising
Soviet influence in Central America. In 2005, he received the
Barbara Olson Award for excellence and independence in journalism
from The American Spectator. Mr. Melloan lives in Westfield, N.J.
He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Dutch
Treat Club.
PRAISE FOR THE GREAT MONEY BINGE:
"There are those who say -- their wishes being the fathers of their
thoughts -- that Ronald Reagan's doctrine of free markets and
limited government has lost its relevance and has won its last
election. To them, George Melloan delivers a robust and convincing
rebuttal. This intellectual spanking is delightful."--George F.
